Lady Gaga, Caitlyn Jenner and Kerry Washington are among the 49 celebrities who participated in a Ryan Murphy-produced tribute video dedicated to the Orlando massacre victims.

The 18-minute video shows photographs one-by-one of the 49 victims who were gunned down less than three weeks ago at the Orlando nightclub, Pulse. A different celebrity narrates each picture by describing the victim’s life.

The Human Rights Campaign released the video which is directed by Murphy and Ned Martel. The project was filmed at Fox Studios in Los Angeles over the course of three days.

“The hate that stole these 49 individuals from all those who loved them has been allowed to flourish in our country for too long,” Murphy says in a statement. “No person is born hating another, and we have an obligation as Americans to stand up against prejudice and bigotry that would incite violence against someone simply for who they are.”
